Grace D. Sent on 10/20/2023The Most Magical Wedding Venue
We had our wedding at the Farm in September 2023 and still can't get over how special, perfect and amazing our day was. From getting ready in the spectacular farmhouse and cabin, our magical + intimate ceremony back in the trees, to a perfect reception in the barn - every location on the property is a 10/10. Tom + Juan have created something so special and we are forever grateful our day was spent at The Farm. We can't recommend this venue enough!The Farm at Dover's reply:
Thanks for the incredible review, Grace! We're so glad you were able to enjoy all of the Farm's magical spaces on your wedding day and it was an honor to play a role in your celebration. Thank you for choosing the Farm as your venue. We hope you're enjoying a wonderful start to your married life together and that you have a very happy holiday season ahead! -

Beautiful Wedding Venue and Experience
We could not imagine a more beautiful venue for our wedding. The barn, in addition to the grooms cabin and farmhouse, were all well kept and spacious. There were countless picturesque spots to take photos.
Tom was extremely responsive, reliable, and flexible in helping coordinate everything we wanted for our special day. He even went out of his way without question to help with a few unique special requests we had.
We cannot recommend this venue highly enough if you’re looking for a rustic. remote venue to celebrate your wedding with family and friends.The Farm at Dover's reply:
Hi Kellen - Thank you so much for the very kind review. We are grateful that you chose to celebrate your wedding at the Farm and are thrilled to hear that you loved your experience with us. It was an honor to be a part of your beautiful wedding day! -

Tom and Juan are absolutely amazing to work with and their venue is STUNNING!! They made our wedding more beautiful than we could have ever imagined possible! From the minute we toured the venue we fell in love with it and they are the absolute sweetest people on this planet. We would LOVE to work with them again in the future for any occasion. And I plan on recommending them to anyone I know getting married ❤️❤️The Farm at Dover's reply:
Hi Amanda - Thank you so much for the incredible review. We loved getting to know you and it was an absolute honor to have your wedding day at The Farm. Thank you so much for choosing us, and congratulations again on your marriage! -

Justine A. Sent on 12/01/2020Absolutely amazing
The Farm at Dover, Tom and Juan, and their team are truly the most spectacular wedding team out there. We looked at tons of venues, spoke to more wedding professionals than I care to share, and these people and this place are the crème de la crème. We booked our wedding date nearly two years in advance and Tom worked with me on every little question I had (since I was planning it myself- day of Coordination by Dream Weddings, WI, also amazing) and went above and beyond at every single turn. The kindness I was shown is unmatched. We rented Dover at Eagle lake for the weekend and it was so GORGEOUS and exactly the space we dreamed about. The girls then got ready in the pink house and the guys in the groom's cabin- again...could not have been more perfect. And don't even get me started on the ceremony and reception (photos included as they can describe their perfection better than I can). I cannot RAVE enough about this place, these people, and the experience I had two months ago. Cheers to the best!!The Farm at Dover's reply:
Dear Justine, We are so appreciative of your kind review! We put so much time and care into our venue and rental properties and are glad this was able to shine through on your beautiful wedding day. It was a joy to get to know you and Jeff and to be a part of your magical celebration. We hope the start of your married life has been nothing short of spectacular. Thank you! -

The Farm at Dover in one word is magical. From the moment we arrived for our tour, I knew this venue was the one. Stepping foot on the grounds is like transporting yourself into a storybook. Each step leads you towards another adventure with new details to discover and mysteries to unravel, with hidden gems speckled throughout; a whole day would still not be enough time here to discover them.
Our guests raved to us about the thoughtful layout. From the beautiful walk starting at the parking lot to the barn, and then the barn to the ceremony site, there are hundreds of places to get “lost” along the way.
Tom and Juan, I felt your love for the Farm in the way every small detail culminated into a story or an experience. I can’t thank you enough for your help in making our day the best it possibly could have been. Our wedding was pure magic as was our stay in the lake house. Thank you again for the part you played in our story. -

Stephanie W. Sent on 07/01/2021Incredible venue with an amazing team who made our wedding day perfect!
We had our wedding at The Farm at Dover in May 2021 and it was the absolute most perfect day!
We were originally supposed to get married in Chicago, but less than 2 months out, we decided to move our wedding out of state to Wisconsin. We came across The Farm at Dover's website and I said to my now husband "there is no way this place will have availability." Luckily, and to my surprise, the only date they had available in 2021 was our wedding date! We reached out immediately and scheduled a tour that weekend, and fell in love with the venue the second we pulled up.
It is the most beautiful, intimate space with the most incredible attention to detail everywhere that you look. Tom and Juan put so much thought into every aspect of the venue and their expertise really shows - I couldn't believe we found such a perfect place for our wedding. We were actually more excited about The Farm at Dover than we ever were about our original venue in Chicago.
We were able to utilize all of our vendors from Chicago, and Tom and Juan were so accommodating, responsive and easy to work with throughout the stressful process of moving a wedding less than 2 months out!
The day of the wedding was nothing short of incredible. The champagne provided at the Farm's lake house where we were staying, and the special gift from Tom and Juan in the bridal house while we were getting ready were a huge surprise and SO thoughtful.
We had such a blast at our wedding and wish we could do the day all over again because it was so much fun! We are so grateful to Tom & Juan and everyone at the Farm at Dover for making our wedding day better than we ever could have imagined. I would recommend this amazing venue to any couple in the Chicagoland area! -

Chelsea Sent on 10/25/2019The most magical place for our dream wedding!
I literally have nothing bad or negative to say about The Farm at Dover. Every single one of our guests have raved about the how beautiful and unique the venue was! Everything was picture perfect for our wedding day. Tom & Juan are the nicest guys we've ever met! From the first tour, to the end of our wedding. They have been an absolute joy to work with, and I hope to see them in the future! They think of just about everything you could ever need and their attention to detail is why we fell in love with our venue. They were so patient when I changed my mind 100 times and they did everything with a smile. I wish I could go back every year & relive the best day! Tom, Juan, and Carly, thank you so much for all you did to help make our dream wedding a reality! We will cherish our memories, and our "thank you" gift every day, Thank you!! -

Couldn't Have been Happier!!!!
Spectacular! When I dreamed of the perfect wedding, The Farm at Dover well exceeded anything I could have ever imagined! From the moment we arrived at the venue we knew it would be mesmerizing for the one and only event of our lives. Both my husband and I were so overwhelmed by the professionalism and exquisite detail that Tom (the owner) and his staff took when ensuring that our day was perfect. Tom made sure I had everything I needed to get ready in the picturesque Victorian house. My husband happily hung out with his groomsmen in the granary which is the ultimate 'Men's Den'. After speaking with Tom, he gave me some recommendations from everything from the caterer to the DJ based on what he knew I wanted and those vendors were also excellent. Both my husband and I have been in constant awe since the wedding because friends and family had said that it may be one of the most beautiful wedding venues they've ever been to. It truly was a fairytale wedding! Thank you, Tom and Juan! -

Alyssa Sent on 01/04/2019Rustic Wonderland
We couldn’t be happier with having our wedding at the Farm at Dover last summer! The owners Tom and Juan are fantastic and did everything possible to ensure our wedding was the best day of our lives. From the very beginning, they were so nice and accommodating, and it was clear how meticulously they care for every last detail on the property. We were very thankful that they even thought to spray for mosquitos! The barn and surrounding grounds are absolutely breathtaking, and we especially enjoyed the many unique places on the grounds for photographs and for our guests to explore! The grooms quarters and the bride’s house were both perfect to escape the commotion and to freshen up in advance of our ceremony (also great for pictures). The lower level of the barn was set up for a rustic cocktail hour and the 2nd floor worked beautifully for reception and dancing. We were worried it would get hot inside the barn during the summer but the large barn windows allowed a very refreshing breeze to come in. We would highly recommend Farm at Dover for any couple looking to get married in a gorgeous rustic location. -
Mayyadah Sent on 01/24/2018The Farm at Dover was our first venue toured, and our only. We visited during their off season in April and the second I stepped foot on their grounds, I knew I was about to cancel every venue visit we had planned. The space, the decor, the lighting, every detail was so well thought out, the whole place screamed romance, it was impossible not to fall in love. Tom and Juan are incredible, they were SO patient with my every question, request, and need while planning the wedding. They went above and beyond to make our day as special as it was, even when our plans for an outdoor ceremony were cancelled due to the pouring rain. They were on top of things, made the barn everything we dreamed of and more for our vows, and I couldn't be more grateful. From the groom and bridal quarters, to the ceremony and barn space, our friends and family have not stopped talking about our beautiful wedding venue. We will cherish the memories of this day, as well as the thoughtful "Thank you" gift for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Tom and Juan, and the whole wonderful staff at Farm At Dover, for everything. We hope to cross paths again soon! ♥

Alexandra Sent on 10/17/2017When we first toured the venue, we knew right then and there this was the place we had to get married! We had a two year engagement and Tom and Juan were helpful and responsive the whole way through providing excellent support, crucial advice, and patience with all of our questions.
We recently got married on October 7th and even though my worst nightmare came true and it rained, Tom and Juan made sure our day was perfect and went off without a hitch! Their entire staff was friendly, helpful, and genuinely took the time to make sure our vision came to life!
I can't express how perfect of a venue this is from the ambiance to the fine tuned logistics; it was a dream come true! All of our guests were obsessed with the space and spoke very highly of their experience.
Their preferred vendors complimented the day which provided a smooth and stress free day for all in attendance.
Thank you Tom and Juan for thinking of everything to make our special day absolutely perfect! We will cherish our wedding day and awesome experience working with you forever :) -

Lauren Sent on 10/23/2017Tom & Juan might be the two easiest venue owners to work with. They are extremely professional and organized, while being cute, creative, and warm too. The venue was something I was a bit worried about at the beginning because I was planning a wedding here from >3000 miles away BUT they made every single step a breeze. They thought of every single detail, down to the nik-naks on the shelves. The property was FLAWLESS, the gardens were unbelievable, something out of a Disney movie. They even let us come a few days before to practice our dance on the dance floor. I have nothing but positive things to say about them and trust me, you can trust them with all the little details that you didn't think of. THANK YOU SO MUCH TOM & JUAN! -
